CURES FOR SNAKE BITES.

The question has often been asked by
temperance people whether there could
not be found an etfectual cure for e'snalle-
bites" without resorting to the inordinate
quantity of whiskey which is usually
given. Here are some cures which have
been tried in the Western states with sue
cess First. Common turpentine applied
as quickly as possible after the accident
Mode Of application-whe you have a
large-necked bottle. put in as much as it
will hold, ana place the uncorked mouth
Immediately over the wound and hold the
bottle on so closely that but little if any Of
the liquid can escape. In a very few sec
onds the contents of the bottle will be
colored with the virus drawn from the
wound After few minutes empty the
bottle. and after relilling apply again.
| When bottle cannot be had let the wound
be kept well soaked with the turpentiue,
by using large piece Of cotton cloth well
saturated, and changing the cloth every
| two or three minutes.
Second A very strong solution Of soda,
applied in the same way as the turpentine
| (when turpentine is not on handy Also,
let the patient have strong soda water to
drink freely.
Third, land am not sure but first in
efficiency l call attention to the chicken
or fowl remedy. Let any fowl "a dog, cat
or pig would no doubt answer as WE'LL be
killed. and cut in pieces instantly, and a
large piece Of the bird or animal be ap-
piled to and bound upon the wound while
! the flesh is still warm. la two or three
minutes let this be removed, as it becomes
colored with the extracted virus, and an
other piece be substituted in its place.
| Fourth. Ansfaonla, or spirits of harris
horn" applied in the same way as the tur-
pentine OF solution of soda. AS Well-read
a physician, think, as any know, as
sured me, a few years ago. that while
whiskey is not an antidote to snake-bite
poison that ammonia is. The fact, he
said, that the former sometimes figures in
the cure Eof a poisonous bite, was not
owing to its being an antidote per Sc, for
such it is not. But the only benefit that
came from its use was a sort of arrest of
the further progress Of the poison through
the system until nature could throw it off
and thus sometimes (but not always
proves a help until nature resumes he1
normal functions, while in the case of the
remedies mentioned in this article, the
poison is at once eliminated from the sys.
tenn.
In case the accident occurs some dis
lance from house, and where neither of
these four articles can at once be had, let
either or both of the following expedients
temporarily adopted; First, the poison
be drawn from tire wound with the pa
TENTS own mouth, if lie can reach the
bitten part, or by another, if he is not
alone. Or if mud can be found, or water
with which to make some mud let goo5
sized mud poultice be applied to and kept
firmly on the bitten place, until one of the
remedies above described can be applied. ;

GRUELS Q THE SICK.
How They Should BE Prepared, trained
and Seasoned Before Serving.

How They Should BE Prepared, Strained
and Seasoned Before Serving.
These simple foods, the base of which
is usually some one Of the grains, play
an important part in the dietary for the
sick, if properly made; but the sloppy
messes sometimes termed Cruel. the
chief merits of which appear to be that
they are prepared in ten minutes
are scarcely better than nothing at all.
Like all other dishes prepared from the
grains, gruels need a long, continuous
cooking. They should, when done. be
the very essence Of the grain. possess
ing all its nutritivc qualities, but in
such form as to be readily assimilated.
In the preparation of Cruel, a scru-
pulously clean double boiler or stew
pan is Of the first Importance. 1t is a
good plan in every household to reserve
one or two cooking utensils purposely
for the preparation of gruels and
other delicate foods. and not be obliged
to depend upon those in daily use,
as utensils used for the cooking of
fruits, vegetables, meats, ETC.. unless
cleaned with the utmost care, will
sometimes impart a sufficiently un-
pleasant flavor to the cruel to render
it wholly u%npalatable to an invalid
whose sense are preternaturally acute.
II it Is desirable to strain the Cruel
before serving, have y hair sieve of a
size to stand conveniently within a
large bowl or basin, turn the cruel into
this. and with a wooden or silver spoon
rub it through the sieve. Have a sec
ond clean wooden or silver spoon il
necessary, to remove that which hangs
beneath the sieve. On no account use
the first spoon for the latter operation,
as by so doing n Is apt to get some OF
the grain into the cruel, and destroy
Its smoothness. When as much of the
cruel as possible has been rubbed
through the sieve, turn the strained
liquid into a clean saucepan, re-heat
to boiling. and season as desired be-
tore serving.--Boston Budget
